The mean age was 57 years with male predominance. Adenoma was detected in 102 patients (48.1%). Adenocarcinoma was documented in 17 patients (8%).

In all groups, most patients were non-smokers (p-value 0.035). Left-sided involvement is most frequent (p-value Selleckchem PF-01367338 0.000). Adenomas and non-neoplastic polyps were diminutive in size while adenocarcinomas were >1.0 cm (p-value 0.000). Multiple lesions were seen (p-value 0.001). BMI and age did not show any significant difference among patient groups (p-value 0.144 and 0.618). Logistic regression modeling was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Colorectal adenoma has a calculated prevalence of 48.1%. Most patients have left-sided involvement. No significant association was shown between male gender, age ≥50 years, obesity, family history of colorectal cancer, presence of diabetes, smoking and alcohol intake in the development of colorectal adenoma.

GLORIA Corresponding Author: SOPHIA ZAMORA ZAMORA Affiliations: Manila Doctors Hospital Objective: Intestinal tuberculosis 上海皓元 (ITB) is still a major health concern in the Philippines. This study aims to evaluate the clinicopathologic and endoscopic features of intestinal TB in Manila Doctors Hospital (MDH) a tertiary hospital in the Philippines from August 2010 to August 2012. Methods: This is a descriptive study, involving patients diagnosed with ITB who satisfy at least two of the following criteria: (1) histopathology findings of chronic granulomatous colitis with Langhan’s giant cells (2) positive TB-PCR or (3) positive response to treatment. Results: Twenty–two patients were included in the study. There was an equal distribution of ITB in both males and females. More than 50% belonged to the 21 to 40 years age group. The most common presenting symptoms were abdominal pain, 40.91% and hematochezia, 36.36%. Ulcerative pattern was noted in 40.91% of patients. Ileum was the most common location. Only 31.82% of patients have histopathology findings consistent with ITB. Five of these patients had positive TB-PCR while the other two patients had negative TB-PCR. Majority of patients, 68.18%, has histopathology findings of chronic ileitis and positive for TB-PCR. Conclusion: In this study, the presenting symptoms of ITB were protean and can be seen in other conditions.
